Hurali Saaru & Palya

Horsegram (hurali, whole muthira, kuleeth, ulavalu) has a very unique flavour and I love the taste of it. This recipe here is my mom's and it came out so good! Hurali Saaru and Palya taste great separately but they are traditionally eaten together with rice. Mom also makes a sweet bhaji with jaggery and coconut with this. This falls under the "bassaaru" category, where the water from cooked lentils or greens is turned to a saaru and the lentils or greens turned to a bhaji.

Method:
Grind half a cup boiled hurali along with onion, coconut and sambar powder. Do the tadka and add the ground masala. Sauté for a minute. Add the water that the hurali was boiled in and half of the cilantro. Let it boil for a few minutes. Garnish with leftover cilantro. This is thin, brothy saaru.

Hi Asha- I havent' posted Saarin pudi, just palyada pudi. I ahve to get the recipe from my mom and Ill post that. I just posted a tribute to my mom on DMC. It is an excerpt from what I've published before in my blog. check it up!

thanks for the recipe vani...i was looking for this. i couldn't find huruli in my ususl indian stores. will look out for this in another punjab store. huruli palya and saaru with garlic tadka is my fav. while writing this i can almost smell its aroma and taste it:)

First time on your site! I just LOVVEE Huruli Saru and Palya. I make it the same way, but without onions and fresh grated coconut for the palya. Of course, the taste will never be the same if you don't use your Mom's sarina pudi! :-)

Hi Vani,Its long time since i made huruli. Thinking of making some after I saw them at your blog. Btw I am from Mysore, currently residing in Singapore. I have started a blog of my own Taste of Mysore. You are welcome.regards,
